Michał Dymitr Krajewski

In 1809 he moved to Warsaw, where he joined the Society of Friends of Science (Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Nauk).

Krajewski's writings concentrated on social issues and political debate about the need to reform the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (along the lines suggested by Jean-Jacques Rousseau).

His first book published in 1784 was the Podolanka wychowana w stanie natury, życie i przypadki swoje opisująca (The Podolian Girl: raised in the natural state, describing her life and events), inspired by French book by Henri Joseph Du Laurens (Imirce, ou la fille de la nature).

Those books were influenced by the earlier works of bishop Ignacy Krasicki, who is recognized as the author of the first Polish novel (Mikołaja Doświadczyńskiego przypadki, 1776).

This book was part of the Society of Friends of Science project aimed at compiling a modern history of Poland.
